God Moves on the Water

                                  Ah, Lord, ah, Lord

Year of nineteen hundred and twelve, April the fourteenth day

Great Titanic struck an iceberg, people had to run and pray

God moves, moves, God moves, ah, and the people had to run and pray

The guards who had been a-watching, asleep 'cause they were tired

When they heard the great excitement, then a gunshot was fired

God moves, moves, God moves, ah, and the people had to run and pray



Captain Smith gave orders, women and children first

Many of the lifeboats piled right up, many were liable to crush

God moves on, God moves, God moves, ah, and the people had to run and pray



So many had to leave their happy home, all that they possess

Lord Jesus, will you hear us now, help us in our distress

God moves, God moves, God moves, ah, people had to run and pray

Women had to leave their loving ones, see 'bout their safety

When they heard the liner was doomed, hearts did almost break

God moves, God moves, God moves, ah, and the people had to run and pray

A.G. Smith, mighty man, built a boat that he couldn't understand

Named it a name of God in a tin, without a "c", Lord, he pulled it in

God moves, ah, God moves, God moves, ah, and the people had to run and pray

Well Ah, ah, Lord
